MAGIC MUSHROOMS - Recipes - Drinks: mushroom tea

Drinks: mushroom tea

You can put the dried or fresh mushrooms in warm water and let them sit for a while like when making herbal tea. Do not boil. Again the Cubensis might loose some of its power, but the psilocin is usually gone with drying anyway. Then you can either just drink the liquid or eat the mushrooms as well. If you don't like the taste, put in a tea bag or some honey. It is not a bad idea to use a blender to grind fresh mushrooms and mix them with fruit juice. Well ground mushrooms (powder) can be added to: honey, juice, soup, chocolate and tea. One suspects, but it has never been scientifically tested, that the combination with dairy products is less advisable as calcium is supposed to interfere with psilocybin. Red wine and cheese before mushrooms might upset your stomach and system more than is necessary. Smoking
One can also smoke the dried mushrooms. This has a milder effect than eating them or taking them with tea, but you will need more. It works faster; the effect can be compared to a good joint or a marijuana-cigarette. Be aware: there is a theory that carcinogens are absorbed into the lungs when smoking mushrooms. The long-term health effects of mushrooms are not deeply researched, but some Mexican shamen tend to favor peyote over mushrooms as it has less aging effects.
